Merab`s cardio

The way he was taking Umar down in R5 was insane.
Umar is great but seems to lack the “grit” that Islam and Khabib have.

Almost like Colby in that they are good but struggle to “seal the deal”

Hes not human. And it's not like he conserves energy too. Hes bouncing up and down and throws wild shots.

I think he uses photosynthesis to heal and produce energy.

It wasn’t staph, it was a CYANOBACTERIA INFECTION !!!

He had like 0 effective top control in RD5.

Its actually amazing how shit his wrestling looked considering how gassed Umar was.
 
You can call it EPO all you want but until he pops, that's all hogwash.
Insane cardio. I said before that idk if Umar would be able to keep up with the pace and he couldn't.

What’s amazing is who he was taking down. Similar to Gus taking down Jon Jones.

Just taking down A true born and bred Numagomedov is epic.

Michael Jordan had brothers too, and they were 5'8 bums. Umar is probably the best striker of them all but he was never a great wrestler. With that, it seemed like he was overwhelming merab the 1st 2 rounds before he gassed. 100% merab beat him with cardio.
 
Good one of the more disrespected yet proven champions in the sport today should be no lower than 3 pound for pound.

All this fight week this man has been so disrespected by the odds makers and fans insinuating he was avoiding this match up for any reason. I am So glad to see him set the record straight.

I like Merab, hes a funny guy.

But hes juiced to the gills, thats just not natural cardio.

You do realizusing performance enhancing drugs for good cardio has nothing to do with being juiced to the gills with steroids right? Completely different things. Annoys me I keep seeing this.
 
Can’t accuse him he trains hard never popped, Volk also has cardio for days. There have been fighters that can bring a crazy pace for 5 rounds.The first two rounds Merab was cruising then he lifted the pace in rounds 3,4 and 5. He always fights like this so I give him the benefit of the doubt he’s never been caught using steroids.

It’s not like he is actually wrestling for 25 minutes he’s spamming takedowns throwing strikes then he resets. This is the way he fights.

He sensed Umar was tired as are most of Merabs opponents and he kept pressing.

He is a machine.

See thats whats weird. That round was competitive and then in the las min or so all of a sudden Merab goes fucking nuclear and destroys all the work Umar put in by going super saiyan

It's like the quote by another cyclist about watching Lance Armstrong doing a crazy hard climb and realizing he had to be juicing as there was zero pain on his face or even a sign of fatigue. While climbing a freaking mountain in first place. Was Lance just a genetic freak? Nope, he just had the best doping regimen on the tour.

Merab just went five rounds wrestling a Nurmagemedov and never looked winded for one second. Takedown attempts tire out everyone, except one dude. He has better cardio than the best boxers, who just strike, and Olympic wrestlers. He has much better cardio than dudes who we now know were juiced. And he did this while supposedly having a leg injury and at the age of 34. Carries decent muscle for his weight class.

This is Ubereem levels of suspicious. It does not past the smell test. No, Overeem didn't train harder than everyone and eat better, lol. He was a hyper responder to PEDs.

87% of Lance's fellow top cyclists during his reign on top were doping. It was more or less a level playing field. MMA is likely the same at the top.
 
Everyone is juiced guys stop coping

Umar's brother literally caught juicing btw

Umar is new gen. Goes to Tiktok, and likes girls.

Merab is probably pulsing hot as we speak.
 
Merab is a delight, I don't understand the uproar about his fighting style specifically. I find a guy that makes other top athletes look out of shape while mixing it up for 5 rounds extremely interesting.
Sure he's not Alex Pereira, where lightning can strike at any moment, but at some point we gotta accept that some fighters are gonna mix their martial arts in the sport of mixed martial arts.

It's fun when he out wrestles other wrestlers. Him dumping Cejudo on his ass in the last round was fantastic.
